Mail at exalted.

From: EllaSubject: A Letter From Ella

Hello <name>,

I hope that this letter finds you well.

I am so very glad that we are best friends now, so I got you a few gifts. I didn't want you to be lonely on your farm, so I'm giving you my most favorite cat - Luna. Please take good care of her. You'll find her on your farm the next time you visit.

These trees have brought me great joy in the past, and I hope they bring you the same happiness.

Your friend,Ella

She may also be at Halfhill Market. If so, there will be a note next to the door of her cottage indicating so.

Fluttershy! Yay!

When it says "adds pigs to your farm" don't think you can get meat or anything else from them. They are just friendly NPCs for decoration. Cute, but useless. By far the most useful Tillers rep seem to be Sho and Gina Mudclaw.

Waypoints for the possible food turn ins... if they're in town, you can just delete the ones that you don't need to visit after you add them. These people either show up in Halfhill Market or they're in one of these places. You can do these once a day.

Just became Best Friends with Ella but she did not add to my reputation count. Unsure if this is working as intended because Blizz had said they would count. Either they changed their mind or perhaps you have to be exalted with The Tillers before the friendships start to count.

Just became best friends with Ella and got the 'Friends on the Farm' Achievement. Just a note to any who might be confused, the script or Ella and Fish Fellreed are backwards. Ella is supposed to give you her favorite cat, Luna, as stated above, which she does. However, she tells you she's giving you pigs for your farm, which is actually the gift you receive from Fish. The gifts arrive immediately, and work as intended, but the NPC's have backwards scripts.

Comment by Snugglebuns

I already had Fish as a Best friend and kept trying to look for her favorite cat like she said in the chat bubble after becoming best friends. I tried looking for the cat cause I wanted to see what it looked like but couldn't find it anywhere. I had become best friends with 3 other NPCs at the time and had noticed at least one of them gave me pigs.... I became best friends with Ella today and HER chat bubble said she was giving me pigs, which I found odd since I already HAD pigs. So I went to my farm and sure enough, the cat was there now. I guess these 2 NPCs chat bubbles got mixed around haha.

10 Tiller NPCs have Friendship bars, which are similar to reputation but don't have normal Normal/Friendly distinctions. Instead, there are six segments of 8400 friendship each, with the best level obtainable at 42000 friendship. While gaining friendship, you'll also gain some Tillers reputation.

You can check up on your friendship status at the Tillers Shrine in Sunsong Ranch.

Friendship levels:Stranger: 0-8400

Acquaintance: 8400-16800

Buddy: 16800-25200

Friend: 25200-33600

Good Friend: 33600-42000

Best Friend: 42000-42999

How to gain Friendship:

The easiest way is to give each NPC 5 of their favorite food each day. Completing these meal quests will grant 1,800 friendship.

A harder way to gain reputation is to give friends specific gifts. These are found in piles of Dark Soil to the north of Halfhill which unfortunately cannot be tracked on the minimap. Each friend will grant 540 friendship per gift. In addition, there's one gift each NPC really wants, and turning that item into the specific NPC will grant 900 friendship instead.

Some quests give friendship--either quests that signal you've reached a new friendship level or select dailies.

Comment by Gazorninplat

I think it should be mentioned that the Dark Soil gifts can be given to any of the Tillers. As far as I know the ones they LIKE give more rep, but they will accept any, at least the few left who are not Best friends to me are accepting all items.

If you're here to look for a macro for quest turnins to gain reputation with this faction, use the following after targeting the NPC:

/run SelectGossipAvailableQuest(1);CompleteQuest();GetQuestReward()

Note:If you have different items, and you want (for example) to turn in the third quest on the list, make the "1" a "3".

Since all the Best Friend pros were spead out on all the different NPCs here on WoWHead, I decided to make this post. Simply to make it easier for people to decide which NPC they wanted to grind rep with first. Big credit to Rothana, who made all the awesome posts I could borrow from:

Gina Mudclaw:When she is your Best Friend, a mailbox will be added to your farm.She will also post you a Celebration Gift, which contains some fireworks.When you are exalted with the Tillers and Best Friends with Gina, she will come and stand next to Farmer Yoon and give you a repair vendor, as well as being the Tiller's Quartermaster with things like farm systems, vanity items, and goat mounts.Since she is only found at the market, she will come to your farm at any time.

Tina Mudclaw:When she is your Best Friend, the house on the farm will be tied up and there will be food and furniture.She will also post you a Nicely Packed Lunch which of course has some food within.(You need to wait for a day when she is at home, to tell you where she hangs out on the farm)If she's at the market she will not come to your farm and you must wait for a day when she is at home.

Haohan Mudclaw:When he is your Best Friend, "Miss Fifi" a mushan pet, will appear on your farm.He will also post you three Songbell Seeds which you can plant and harvest a Mote of Harmony from.He will come and stand next to Farmer Yoon looking not-so-decorative, and doing nothing much. If he's at the market he will not come to your farm and you must wait for a day when he is at home.

Old Hillpaw:When you are Best Friends, chickens will be added to your farm.He will also post you a Straw Hat.When you are exalted with the Tillers and Best Friends with Old Hillpaw, if you ask him for help on the farm he will come and stand about on your farm with several chickens near him (he's feeding them, but not really).If he's at the market he will not come to your farm and you must wait for a day when he is at home.

Jogu the Drunk:When he is your Best Friend, he will give you free crop predictions.He will also post you a Secret Stash, which is not surprisingly filled with alcohol. As a farmhand he'll come and sit by the side of your pond. This makes it a little more convenient to ask him about the crop forecast. Since he is only found at the market, he will come to your farm at any time. The exception is if he has a daily quest "Weed Wars II" to hand out that day. He will disappear from your farm and be at his original pond in town. However, if you forgo asking anyone else to be a farmhand, the next day he isn't offering a daily he'll be back by your pond on your farm.

Chee Chee:When he is your Best Friend, sheep will be found on your farm, to look decorative.He will also post you a Chee Chee's Goodie Bag, which contains some cloth and leather.When you are exalted with the Tillers and Best Friends with Chee Chee, if you ask him for help on the farm he will come and sit around by your sheep.When he is at the market he will not come to your farm. You must wait for a day when he is at his house.

Farmer Fung:When he is your Best Friend, a yak Shaggy will be found at your farm, to look decorative.He will also post you an Enigma Seed Pack. An Enigma Seed plant gives you a random Pandaren herb.When you are exalted with the Tillers and Best Friends with Farmer Fung, he will come and stand by the bale of hay and the tree stump, near the watering can, looking not-so-decorative, and doing nothing much. If he's at the market he will not come to your farm and you must wait for a day when he is at "home" on his haystack.

Sho:When she is your Best Friend, an orange tree will appear on the farm.She will also post you a Red Cricket, acompanion pet. As a farmhand she'll come and lurk on top on the bale of hay near the watering can. If she's at the market she will not come to your farm and you must wait for a day when she is at "home" ontop of the hozen ridge where so many dailies are completed.

Ella:When she is your Best Friend, Luna the cat will be on the farm.She will also post you a Tree Seed Pack which has three tree seeds in it. These seeds grow a tree which you can then throw on the ground somewhere and watch it grow and look pretty for a few minutes before it disappears. When you are exalted with the Tillers and Best Friends with Ella, she'll come and wander about your farm looking at things (and doing nothing really). If she's at the market she will not come to your farm and you must wait for a day when she is at home with her cats.

Fish Fellreed:When she is your Best Friend, three ping pigs will be on the farm.She will also post you a Special Seed Pack which has one of each of the special plants in it. These plants grow things like cloth, leather, ore, herbs, and motes of harmony.When you are exalted with the Tillers and Best Friends with Fish Fellreed, she'll come and stand just inside the pen where the yak and the pig hang out. She doesn't appear to do anything.If she's at the market she will not come to your farm and you must wait for a day when she is at "home" on her pier.

Ella says: Hey, wait just a minute... I... well... you've been such a good friend and... I want to give you my favorite kitty, Luna! I don't want you to be lonely at your farm and...<sob>... just take good care of her, okay? I'll bring her by later.

Reixes: .... D:

Can we...can we just be 'good friends' instead? I feel...I feel horrible now.

As you may have noticed the reputation with the NPCs for the "Friends on the Farm" achievement is not displayed correctly: It shows a full bar while not 100% have been reached. This macro will show you with who you can still gain reputation:

/run local t={1273,1275,1276,1277,1278,1279,1280,1281,1282,1283} print("Reputation missing:") for i=1,10 do local name,mis,_,_,max,val=GetFactionInfoByID(t) max=max-1 mis=max-val if mis>0 then print(name..": "..mis) end end

Edit: If it lists nothing then you've already maxed out all the reputation.
